Well, I just realized this now but I never did loner interviews. Sorry! So I'll just do more of their points of view so you can think about them. I really don't feel like writing another chapter for them. Man that really throws off my mojo. Oh, well. So here is more training. I plan for a couple of these then a chapter of travel or two then it's to the exciting part! Thank you Cinderstar377 ,Skypaw of StormClan and Curlyheart1134 for reviewing. So I might not update as much because I just released my latest story so if you're a warrior fan (which I hope you are since you're reading this.) you might like it also I'm writing… give me a second to count. OK back. I writing about 7 other stories that I won't post until their finished or who knows by that time I might have outgrown them so my point Thank you for reading, I'll update when I can and thank you so much readers! I Love you and I love you even more when you're a reviewer. I love reviews (hint, hint) even if their criticizing reviews. If you don't like something I might be able to change it. And my poll still remains, if you want to vote it'll change often when the games start so vote when you can. Well this is a super long note sorry and enjoy. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Chapter 8 Dark- Dusk loners

I felt like the next few days were successful. Stormcloud was a little sluggish, but fought brilliantly. We let her train with us now. It was Blackthorn's 2nd turn to teach us. It was easy for me though the tree dropping was a little tough. I never understood how such a heavy cat could climb quietly like a squirrel in the trees. My favorite tactic was the lightning strike. Though it worked better for a clan I still thought it was pretty cool.

"Dar, D, d,d, Dark I don'y feel so go-" on the last words she puked.

"Goosefeather now." I commanded as I let her lean on me. "Keep training!" I called over my shoulder. We walked away heading towards the edge of tree bridge where the evil medicine cat was stationed. Breezepelt caught us.

"Miss. Dark? Where are you going?"

"Helping her." I growled.

"Well you can go train, she'll be fine on her own."

"Have a heart, Brokenstar would have let us both go." The black tom flinched like I had swiped him across the face. Even in the Place of no stars cats got close to their mentors. I did my research. He sucked in a deep breath.

"Go!" and with that we went our separate ways. I drooped Stormcloud off and grabbed a mouse and waited outside the makeshift den. I must have missed something because when I came back to eat the blue she-cat was in a rage. I couldn't see her I heard it.

"What! This can't be true! Your part of the Dark forest! I don't believe you go get Kestrelflight of Starclan."

"And why would I do that? Evil or not I'm a medicine cat and I know what I'm talking about. End of story."

"I will only accept Ketrelflight or Barkface! Or you know what go get me a live medicine cat! Go fetch Finchflight."

"I'm right now eat this!'

"What i-"

"Thyme chew, know these."

"These are?"

"Poppy seeds." I heard a paw swipe through the air and the thwack of her paw hitting something. I cringed at the sound of little seeds bouncing over the large flat rock the served as the den floor. Ok, I was simply confused. I went over my tiny knowledge of herbs. Poppy seeds for sleep. Thyme for… for… for… SHOCK! Whatever it was it must be big.

I was the type of cat to stalk and pounce. Not climb a tree, wait,, move so slw that no one can hear then pounce. Its wasted effort, when you're strong enough to take them on what's the point? It's too time consuming but Blackthorn was in charge for this training day, and I admit I'm learning. Stormcloud never came back. I was told she was asllep when I asked if I could check on her during our fresh-kill break. I was rudely rejected I might mwention too. Blackthorn and snake circled our hiding spot. Our being Ruffledfern and I. I looked at the tree across from me where the RiverClan warrior was perched. She slid out a single hooked claw and held it out. That was our sign for Blackthorn. I pointed a black paw at myself then wiggled my tail. The symbol for snake. Ruffledfern gave a slight nod and mouthed

"one… two.. three!" We soared down from the trees. I hit Snake squarely in the shoulders causing him to him buckle under the pressure of impact. Not my weight I was scarily light. It helped with agility but still I was strong shouldn't it show? On the other paw however missed Blackthorn and clawed (with sheathed claws) his side, landed on her feet and continued clawing and dodging. Even Blackthorn was surprised and he was the teacher.

"Alright, alright, good. Dark Ruffledfern your turn." And Snake and Blackthorn mounted the trees and Ruffledfern and I began circling.

Thorn- Dawn loners

I could tell someone was watching me. Yet when I turned no one was there. Starla was my calm level- headed ally. She rarely raised her voice, she thought through everything she did and the only violent thing she did was fight. Could someone explain to me why she constant scolded me?

"Thorn! Focus! What did I just say?" Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention. She's a control freak. "No one is watching us. If anything they are!" The pale she-cat flicked her tail at Maggottail and Antpelt was surveying the crowd Apparently Antpelt had faded a while ago but the Dark forest had started to figure out how to reach faded souls. It seemed their research was going ok. I glanced at Starla who had her mouth open to talk and I pounced. I bowled over her and pinned her down belly up. Instead of struggling, she laughed.

"Okay I get it. Be more alert, follow my own directions. I'll shut up now." I was still skeptical but I lightened my gaze.

"Promise."

"Can I criticize thing?'

"Fighting moves only? No more 'Focus Thorn!'"

"Deal." I let her up and grabbed a pawful of brown and orange dead leaves.

"Shred them." I ordered, then flung the, in the pale gold queen's direction. She instinctively lunged at the falling leaves. Leaving claw marks in all of them. I felt the gaze again. I turned slowly and out of the corner of my eye I saw it. A pair of bright goldish-amber eys glowing in the shadows of the bushes. Fixed on Starla and I.

"Starla" I said softly and slowly, "Look behind me and don't make it obvious." She did as she was told and let out a gasp.

"I'm sorry Thorn you were right."

So, I'm proud of that chapter sorry it took so long. I'll try to be faster. My poll remains and I still have that contest. One of the cats mentioned in chapter 6 was the first tribute name I thought of. It's not Shortleg, or any of the loners. So guess if you want. And I'm sorry no more sponsors for Stormcloud. She already has a lot of sponsors so…. I think that's it check out There are no second chances when you can it's only a prologue but I'll update tomorrow so. Thanks. and I realize Goosefeather was never in the dark forest. I looked that up like 10 min. ago. But anyways never liked him so that remains. But it has been hinted that Hawkheart, (former WindCLan medicine cat) was in the Dark forest so I was right about that so HA! yeah that's it. I love you Readers! Bye!

Peace out
